Education remains one of the most powerful instruments for social transformation, capable of breaking cycles of poverty and unlocking opportunities for generations.

In Tshabalala Pelandaba Constituency, this truth continues to be reflected in the sustained efforts of former Member of Parliament and political activist Ostallos Siziba, whose long standing commitment to education has brought tangible relief to vulnerable learners and their families.
This past weekend, Siziba led a significant community outreach initiative at Nduba Primary School in Ward 13, where he handed over school shoes, exercise books, and other essential learning materials to underprivileged pupils.

The gesture formed part of the annual #DonateABook programme, an initiative designed to ensure that disadvantaged children are not excluded from learning due to a lack of basic educational resources.

Addressing pupils, parents, and community members during the handover ceremony, Siziba emphasised the central role of education in community development.

“This is our home. When our children are supported, the whole community rises,” he said.

Underscoring the collective responsibility of leaders, stakeholders, and citizens in nurturing the next generation.

Over the years, the #DonateABook programme has grown into a cornerstone of community support in Tshabalala Pelandaba constituency.

Beyond the annual donation drive, Siziba’s contribution to education in the constituency has been consistent and multifaceted.

During his short tenure as Member of Parliament, he supported infrastructure development in several schools, advocating for the renovation of classrooms and improved learning environments.

As Tshabalala Pelandaba continues to grapple with socio economic challenges, initiatives such as #DonateABook stand as a powerful reminder that community-driven efforts can create lasting impact.
By empowering children through education, Siziba’s work is not only shaping individual futures but also laying the foundation for a stronger, more resilient constituency where opportunity is built on knowledge, solidarity, and hope.
